EEO-1 Portal for Pay and Hours Data to Open July 15, 2019

7/2/19

By: Brent Bean

The EEOC reported last week that its Portal for receiving Component 2 information, employee pay and hours worked data, will open on July 15, 2019. The deadline for submission of this information by covered entities is September 30 of this year. Companies with 100 or more employees, along with federal contractors who employ 50 or more employees, are covered and are required to submit to the EEOC annual Employer Information Reports, so-called EEO-1 reports. These reports disclose information concerning the number of employees a company employs broken down by job category, race, sex, and ethnicity, known as Component 1 information. Following a recent ruling in National Women’s Law Center v. Office of Management and Budget, 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 33828 (D.D.C. Mar. 4, 2019), the Commission will now begin collecting pay and hours worked data, Component 2 information.
FMG will keep you updated on activity by the Commission and the Courts.  Employers should prepare now with a thorough review of their pay structures in order to identify not only any disparities that may draw increased scrutiny, but also to discern the legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons which exist for their present pay practices. Again, the deadline for submission of Component 2 information is September 30.
